Launched by United Poultry Concerns in 2005, International Respect for Chickens Day celebrates chickens throughout the world and protests the
suffering of chickens in farming, cockfighting, experimental research, hatching projects and other activities that mistreat chickens.

“We urge everyone to do a compassionate ACTION for chickens, on or around May 4,” says Karen Davis, president of United Poultry
Concerns, an organization that promotes compassionate treatment of domestic fowl.

“We invite people to hold an office party or a classroom celebration, leaflet on a busy street corner, write a letter to the editor, do a
radio call-in, table at their local church, shopping mall or community festival,” Davis explains. “A library display, a delicious vegan
open house, an informative blog post, or simply talking to family and friends about the plight – and delight – of chickens and how
people can help them are great ways to help chickens.”

To celebrate International Respect for Chickens Day in the Nation’s Capital, United Poultry Concerns is running 100 King-Size Bus Posters and
will leaflet and talk with visitors at the White House on May 4 from Noon to 3pm about “What Wings are For.”

The entire month of May is International Respect for Chickens Month. For information, contact United Poultry Concerns, a nonprofit organization
that promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl. http://www.upc-online.org
